Solo Leveling Season 2 Releases Sick New LiSA & Felix from Stray Kids OP

by

As a long-time anime enthusiast who has witnessed the evolution of the genre over decades, I can confidently say that the collaboration between LiSa and Felix for “ReawakeR” is a game-changer. Having followed the growth of K-pop in anime, it’s fascinating to see Stray Kids making their mark with their unique style.

As a devoted fan of anime, I can hardly contain my excitement in the run-up to the cinematic premiere of “Solo Leveling -ReAwakening”. To whet our appetites, we’ve been given a tantalizing glimpse of the soundtrack for Season 2 of “Solo Leveling”. Renowned anime collaborator LiSa has joined forces with K-pop sensation Felix, from Stray Kids, to create an electrifying new track titled “ReawakeR”. Early feedback from screenings of the omnibus film “-ReAwakening” (which also showcases this song), indicates that “ReawakeR” could very well be the opening theme for Season 2. And now, it’s official – Aniplex has confirmed the news!

The song showcases robust synthesizer melodies, leading to an opening where Lisa’s unique vocal style is prominently showcased. Lisa’s voice dominates the majority of the preview, but a brief hint of Felix’s deep baritone can be heard towards the end. Anticipation for Season 2, scheduled for release in January 2025, is high, as we predict that “ReawakeR” will rank among the top opening themes of 2025.

In a unique video released after the track’s debut (thanks to Natalie), LiSa discussed the song’s significance, emphasizing the creative prowess of Felix and music producer Hiroyuki Sawano. “It’s a tune about the courage to shape your own fate for those who have been reborn,” she stated, drawing parallels between “ReawakeR” and the themes of personal development and internal fortitude found in Solo Leveling. “The song is sung by Hiroyuki Sawano, with Felix from Stray Kids also contributing. I’ll share it with you, showcasing these two trailblazers carving their own paths. I hope you appreciate the effort.

Felix from Stray Kids shares his enthusiasm for being involved in Season 2 of “Solo Leveling”. He shared, “I feel incredibly privileged to be a part of LiSA-senpai’s song.” Felix went on to describe the song as something that delivers a surge of dopamine when heard. He expressed his hope that those eagerly anticipating the anime “Solo Leveling” and its theme song “ReawakeR (feat. Felix of Stray Kids)” will give it plenty of affection.

K-pop Is Becoming More Popular In Anime

As a diehard cinema enthusiast, I’m thrilled about the prospect that Solo Leveling Season 2 could mark my solo debut for an anime OST, but let me tell you, my band, Stray Kids, has already made waves within this medium. We had the honor of performing the opening theme, “TOP”, for the smash-hit anime Tower of God, which premiered in 2020. It’s not just us, as the last decade has seen K-pop’s influence in anime grow significantly.

As a passionate anime enthusiast, I recently enjoyed how Black Clover showcased Tomorrow X Tomorrow’s enchanting performance of “Everlasting Shine” as the 12th opening theme. Similarly, the water polo drama Re-Main made a splash with K-pop group ENHYPEN upon its debut in 2021, delivering an outstanding opening theme titled “Forget Me Not.

On December 6, the compilation film, titled “Solo Leveling -ReAwakening“, hits theatres. This movie will also include the initial two episodes of Season 2, with the full season set to stream online starting from January 2025.
